There is massive support for same sex marriage and abortion in Northern Ireland (landslide support like we've seen in the South), but because of our political situation with the DUP being voted in primarily on their unionism stance, they're in a position to stand in the way of things they don't like, so we're not making the same progress.

I worded it badly but that’s what I meant, the significant chunk might be in the minority, but they hold the keys to change and they are completely out of step with Protestant liberal UK and with the Catholic (and now) liberal Ireland. Hopefully voters in Northern Ireland start removing them from power.
